One card for Dragon, one card for Tiger. Highest card wins. That's all there is to it — and that simplicity is exactly what makes Dragon Tiger so addictive. At Korikya, we run Dragon Tiger live around the clock with professional dealers, HD streaming, and payouts that land in your account in minutes.
Dragon Tiger keeps things clean and simple. Pick your side before the cards are dealt and wait for the result — it takes less than 30 seconds per round.
Bet on the Dragon position to receive the higher card. If Dragon beats Tiger, you win even money on your stake. Clean, simple, and the most popular bet on the table.
Pays 1:1Back the Tiger position to win. If Tiger's card is higher than Dragon's, your bet pays even money. Same odds, different side — it's all about your instinct on the day.
Pays 1:1If both Dragon and Tiger receive cards of equal value, it's a Tie. This is the high-risk, high-reward bet on the table — it doesn't happen often, but when it does, the payout is significant.
Pays 8:1

The dealer draws one card for each position. The higher card wins. If you backed the right side, your winnings are credited instantly to your Korikya balance.
Dragon Tiger has been popular across Asia for decades, but it really found its audience in Bangladesh over the last few years. The reason is straightforward: it's the fastest card game you can play at a live table. A single round takes less than 30 seconds from the moment betting opens to the moment the result is confirmed. If you've ever sat at a Baccarat table and felt like the game was moving too slowly, Dragon Tiger is the answer.
At Korikya, we've made Dragon Tiger the centrepiece of our live casino section because we know how much our players love it. The tables run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no breaks and no downtime. Whether you want to play at noon or at 2am, there will always be a live dealer ready and a table open for you.
Dragon Tiger uses a standard 52-card deck with no jokers. Card values follow a simple ranking: Ace is the lowest card, and King is the highest. The full order from lowest to highest is: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. Suits don't affect the outcome of the main Dragon or Tiger bet — only the card value matters. This is different from some other card games where suits play a role, so it's worth keeping in mind if you're coming from a Baccarat or Poker background.
Side bets are where suits become relevant. At Korikya's Dragon Tiger tables, you can place additional bets on whether the Dragon or Tiger card will be a specific suit — hearts, diamonds, clubs, or spades. These side bets pay at 3:1 and add an extra layer of excitement to each round without complicating the core gameplay.
The Dragon and Tiger bets each carry a house edge of around 3.73%, which puts them among the most player-friendly bets in any live casino game. The Tie bet has a much higher house edge — around 32% — which is why most experienced players treat it as an occasional punt rather than a core strategy. The RTP on Dragon and Tiger bets sits at 96.27%, meaning for every ৳100 wagered over time, the expected return is ৳96.27. That's a solid number for a live game.
Korikya publishes these figures openly because we believe players deserve to know what they're working with. There are no hidden margins, no surprise rule changes, and no manipulation of the deck. Our Dragon Tiger tables use certified shuffling machines and the results are independently audited on a regular basis.
Dragon Tiger is a game of chance — there's no skill involved in the outcome of any individual round. But there are a few habits that experienced players tend to follow that help them manage their sessions better. First, stick to Dragon or Tiger bets and treat the Tie as a rare side bet rather than a regular wager. The odds simply don't justify betting Tie consistently. Second, set a session budget before you start and stick to it. Because rounds move so quickly, it's easy to go through your balance faster than you expect if you're not paying attention.
Some players like to track the road map — the history of recent results — to look for patterns. Korikya's Dragon Tiger interface displays a full bead road and big road so you can see how the last 30 or 40 rounds played out. Whether you believe in pattern-based betting or not, having that history visible is useful for keeping track of how the session is going.
Finally, take advantage of the Korikya welcome bonus when you first deposit. The bonus funds can be used on Dragon Tiger, which means you're effectively getting extra rounds to play with before you're risking your own money. It's a good way to get comfortable with the pace of the game before you start betting larger amounts.
One thing that sets Korikya apart from other platforms is the quality of the live dealer experience. Our Dragon Tiger tables are streamed in full HD from a professional studio, and the dealers are trained to run the game at a consistent, comfortable pace. You can see every card clearly, the audio is clean, and the interface never gets in the way of the action.
The in-game chat feature lets you interact with the dealer and other players at the table, which adds a social element that you don't get with RNG-based games. Many of our regular Dragon Tiger players say the live dealer atmosphere is a big part of why they keep coming back to Korikya. It feels like a real casino experience, just without the travel and the dress code.
All Dragon Tiger tables at Korikya use certified shuffling equipment and are independently audited for fairness. Results are never manipulated. Read our Responsible Gaming page for more on how we keep play safe and fair.
